will depend upon output voltage and load current. See Applications
Information.
Note 4: An internal power-on reset (POR) latch is set on the positive
transition of the SHDN pin through its threshold. The output of the latch
activates a current source on the SS pin which typically sinks 600μA,
discharging the SS capacitor. The latch is reset when the SS pin is driven
below the soft-start POR threshold or the SHDN pin is taken below its
threshold.
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note2: The LT3500EDD/LT3500EMSE is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT3500IDD/LT3500IMSE is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. The LT3500HDD/LT3500HMSE is
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature
range. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating
lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 5: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 6: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.
Note 3: Minimum input voltage is defined as the voltage where internal
bias lines are regulated so that the reference voltage and oscillator remain
constant. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output

LT3500
OPERATION
The LT3500 is a constant frequency, current mode buck
converter with an internal 2.3A switch plus a linear regula-
tor with 13mA output capability. Control of both outputs
is achieved with a common SHDN pin, internal regulator,
oscillator, undervoltage detect, soft-start, thermal shut-
down and power-on reset.
During power up, the POR signal sets the soft-start latch,
which discharges the SS pin to ensure proper start-up
operation. When the SS pin voltage drops below 100mV,
the V pin is driven low disabling switching and the soft-
C
start latch is reset. Once the latch is reset the soft-start
capacitor starts to charge with a typical value of 2.75μA.
If the SHDN pin is taken below its 0.8V threshold, the
LT3500 will be placed in a low quiescent current mode.
In this mode the LT3500 typically draws 12μA from the

The LT3500 is a constant frequency, current mode step-
down converter. Current mode regulators are controlled
by an internal clock and two feedback loops that control
the duty cycle of the power switch. In addition to the
normal error amplifier, there is a current sense amplifier
that monitors switch current on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
This technique means that the error amplifier commands
current to be delivered to the output rather than voltage.
The error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier that

The current in the inductor is a triangle wave with an
average value equal to the load current. The peak switch
current is equal to the output current plus half the peak-to
peak inductor ripple current. The LT3500 limits its switch
current in order to protect itself and the system from
overload faults. Therefore, the maximum output current
that the LT3500 will deliver depends on the current limit,
the inductor value, switch frequency, and the input and
output voltages. The inductor is chosen based on output
currentrequirements, outputvoltageripplerequirements,
size restrictions and efficiency goals.

Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current
A good first choice for the inductor value is:

With this value the maximum load current will be ~2A,

rating must be greater than your maximum load current

be less than 0.05ꢀ.

One approach to choosing the inductor is to start with the
simple rule given above, look at the available inductors
and choose one to meet cost or space goals. Then use
these equations to check that the LT3500 will be able to
deliver the required output current. Note again that these
equations assume that the inductor current is continuous.

Figure 4 illustrates the inductance value needed for a 3.3V
output with a maximum load capability of 2A. Referring
to Figure 4, an inductor value between 3.3μH and 4.7μH
will be sufficient for a 15V input voltage and a switch
frequency of 750kHz. There are several graphs in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data
sheet that show inductor selection as a function of input
voltage and switch frequency for several popular output
voltages and output ripple currents. Also, low inductance
may result in discontinuous mode operation, which is
okay, but further reduces maximum load current. For
details of maximum output current and discontinuous
mode operation, see Linear Technology Application Note
Step-down regulators draw current from the input sup-
ply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input
capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage
ripple at the LT3500 and to force this very high frequency
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.
The input capacitor must have low impedance at the
switching frequency to do this effectively, and it must
have an adequate ripple current rating.

supply source impedance, determine the energy storage
requirements of the input capacitor. Determine the worst-
case condition for input ripple current and then size the
input capacitor such that it reduces input voltage ripple to
an acceptable level. Typical values for input capacitors run
from10μFatlowfrequenciesto2.2μFathigherfrequencies.
The combination of small size and low impedance (low

make them the preferred choice. The low ESR results in

can be used in this application at their rated voltage. X5R

Z5U) have very large temperature and voltage coefficients
of capacitance, so they may have only a small fraction of
their nominal capacitance in your application. While they
will still handle the RMS ripple current, the input voltage
ripple may become fairly large, and the ripple current may
end up flowing from your input supply or from other by-
pass capacitors in your system, as opposed to being fully
sourced from the local input capacitor. An alternative to a
high value ceramic capacitor is a lower value along with
a larger electrolytic capacitor, for example a 1μF ceramic
capacitor in parallel with a low ESR tantalum capacitor.
For the electrolytic capacitor, a value larger than 10μF will
be required to meet the ESR and ripple current require-
ments. Because the input capacitor is likely to see high
surge currents when the input source is applied, tantalum
capacitors should be surge rated. The manufacturer may
also recommend operation below the rated voltage of the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The high performance (low ESR), small size and robust-
ness of ceramic capacitors make them the preferred type
for LT3500 applications. However, all ceramic capacitors
are not the same. As mentioned above, many of the high
value capacitors use poor dielectrics with high tempera-
ture and voltage coefficients. In particular, Y5V and Z5U
types lose a large fraction of their capacitance with ap-
plied voltage and temperature extremes. Because the loop
stability and transient response depend on the value of
the value of output capacitance required. Also, the current
mode control loop doesn’t require the presence of output
capacitor series resistance (ESR). For these reasons, you
are free to use ceramic capacitors to achieve very low
output ripple and small circuit size. Estimate output ripple
with the following equations:

The ESRs of most aluminum electrolytics are too large to
deliver low output ripple. Tantalum and newer, lower ESR
organic electrolytic capacitors intended for power supply
use, are suitable and the manufacturers will specify the
ESR. The choice of capacitor value will be based on the
ESR required for low ripple. Because the volume of the
capacitor determines its ESR, both the size and the value
will be larger than a ceramic capacitor that would give you
similar ripple performance. One benefit is that the larger
capacitance may give better transient response for large
changes in load current.

The RMS content of this ripple is very low, and the RMS
current rating of the output capacitor is usually not of

The only reason to consider a larger diode is the worst-
case condition of a high input voltage and shorted output.
With a shorted condition, diode current will increase to a
typical value of 3A, determined by the peak switch current
limit of the LT3500. This is safe for short periods of time,
but it would be prudent to check with the diode manu-
facturer if continuous operation under these conditions
can be tolerated.

Figure 5 shows four ways to arrange the boost circuit.
The BST pin must be more than 2.2V above the SW pin
for full efficiency.
Generally, for outputs of 3.3V and higher the standard
circuit (Figure 5a) is the best. For outputs between 2.8V
and 3.3V, replace the D2 with a small Schottky diode such
as the PMEG4005.
BST Pin Considerations
The capacitor and diode tied to the BST pin generate
a voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In most
cases a 0.47μF capacitor and fast switching diode (such
as the CMDSH-3 or FMMD914) will work well. Almost
any type of film or ceramic capacitor is suitable, but the
ESR should be <1Ω to ensure it can be fully recharged
during the off time of the switch. The capacitor value can
be approximated by:
For lower output voltages the boost diode can be tied to
the input (Figure 5b). The circuit in Figure 5a is more ef-
ficient because the BST pin current comes from a lower
voltage source.
Figure 5c shows the boost voltage source from the linear
output that is set to greater than 2.5V (any available DC
sourcesthataregreaterthan2.5Vissufficient).Thehighest
efficiency is attained by choosing the lowest boost volt-
age above 2.5V. You must also be sure that the maximum
voltage at the BST pin is less than the maximum specified
in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The boost circuit can also run directly from a DC voltage
that is higher than the input voltage by more than 2.5V, as
in Figure 5d. The diode is used to prevent damage to the
Frequency Compensation
The LT3500 uses current mode control to regulate the
output.Thissimplifiesloopcompensation.Inparticular,the
LT3500 does not require the ESR of the output capacitor
for stability so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to
achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. Frequency
compensation is provided by the components tied to the
LT3500 in case V is held low while V is present. The
X
IN
circuit eliminates a capacitor, but efficiency may be lower
and dissipation in the LT3500 may be higher. Also, if V is
X
absent, the LT3500 will still attempt to regulate the output,
but will do so with very low efficiency and high dissipation
because the switch will not be able to saturate, dropping
1.5V to 2V in conduction.
V pin. Generally a capacitor and a resistor in series to
C
ground determine loop gain. In addition, there is a lower
value capacitor in parallel. This capacitor is not part of
the loop compensation but is used to filter noise at the
switching frequency.
The minimum input voltage of an LT3500 application is
limited by the minimum operating voltage (<2.8V) and by
the maximum duty cycle as outlined above. For proper
start-up, the minimum input voltage is also limited by
the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly, or
the LT3500 is turned on with its SS pin when the output
is already in regulation, then the boost capacitor may not
be fully charged. Because the boost capacitor is charged
with the energy stored in the inductor, the circuit will rely
on some minimum load current to get the boost circuit
running properly. This minimum load will depend on
input and output voltages and on the arrangement of the
boost circuit.
Loop compensation determines the stability and transient
performance.Designingthecompensationnetworkisabit
complicatedandthebestvaluesdependontheapplication
and in particular the type of output capacitor. A practical
approach is to start with one of the circuits in this data
sheet that is similar to your application and tune the com-
pensation network to optimize the performance. Stability
should then be checked across all operating conditions,
including load current, input voltage and temperature.
The LT1375 data sheet contains a more thorough discus-
sion of loop compensation and describes how to test the
stability using a transient load.
The Typical Performance Characteristics section shows
plots of the minimum load current to start and to run as a
function of input voltage for 3.3V and 5V outputs. In many
cases the discharged output capacitor will present a load
to the switcher which will allow it to start. The plots show

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
At power-up, a reset signal sets the soft-start latch and
discharges the SS pin to approximately 0V to ensure
proper start-up. When the SS pin is fully discharged the
latch is reset and the internal 2.75μA current source starts
to charge the SS pin.
The PG pin has a sink capability of 400μA when the FB and
LFB pins are below the threshold and can withstand 40V
when the outputs are in regulation. The PG pin is typically
connected to the output with a resistor and is used as an
errorflag. Theresistorvalueshouldbechosentoallowthe
PG voltage to drop below 0.4V in an error condition.

a result, the output will be regulated to the highest volt-
age that the maximum output current can support. For
example, if a 6V output is loaded by 1Ω the SS pin will
drop to 0.5V, regulating the output at 3V (typical current
limit time load, 3A • 1Ω). Once the overload condition is
removed, the output will soft-start from the temporary
voltage level to the normal regulation point.
With the LFB and LDRV pins configured as shown in
Figure 1, the LDRV pin outputs a regulated voltage with a
typical current limit of 13mA.
